Ports for Sale: More Disturbing News

It has come to my attention that there exists a direct link between the royal family of the United Arab Emirates, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

This information comes from a March 25, 2004 report from the India-based rediff.com which reported on the verbal testimony given before the 9/11 Commission by former DIRCIA George Tenet. This has not yet been given the full attention it deserves, and in light of this would be reason enough to immediately halt all negotiations for Dubai Ports World to gain control of eight critical US port facilities.

Director Tenet testified on March 24, 2004 that a mission targeting Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan was aborted because had the mission proceeded half of the royal family of the UAE would have been wiped out.

Here is the relevant excerpt of that report:
UAE royals, bin Laden's saviours

The Central Intelligence Agency did not target Al Qaeda chief Osama bin laden once as he had the royal family of the United Arab Emirates with him in Afghanistan, the agency's director, George Tenet, told the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States on Thursday.

Had the CIA targeted bin Laden, half the royal family would have been wiped out as well, he said.

This has not yet been given the full attention it deserves, and in light of this would be reason enough to immediately halt all negotiations for Dubai Ports World to gain control of eight critical US port facilities.I’ll make this short and to the point. Director Tenet testified on March 24, 2004 that a mission targeting Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan was aborted because had the mission proceeded half of the royal family of the UAE would have been wiped out.Here is the relevant excerpt of that report:UAE royals, bin Laden's savioursMarch 25, 2004 12:04 ISTThe Central Intelligence Agency did not target Al Qaeda chief Osama bin laden once as he had the royal family of the United Arab Emirates with him in Afghanistan, the agency's director, George Tenet, told the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States on Thursday.Had the CIA targeted bin Laden, half the royal family would have been wiped out as well, he said.

Director Tenet went on in his testimony to state that U.S. Predator drone unmaned aircraft flew their first mission armed with Hellfire missiles, with the permission of the “host nation” (most likely Pakistan), on October 7, 2001. Logically the conclusion could be drawn that a large portion of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates was with Osama bin Laden when he was targeted in Afghanistan during the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001.These are America’s allies?The questions which must now be openly answered by the Bush Administration are patently obvious. Exactly how much due process did the US government engage in concluding that the UAE deserved to be rewarded as an American ally in the Global War on Terrorism? When did the Islamist UAE royals switch sides in this war, and notwithstanding the Islamic practice of al-Taqiyya (dissimulation), where are the American people to believe their loyalties lie today?
